Added Android Permissions

 The backend host/port is configured once in `lib/main.dart` via `AcApi.configure(const ApiConfig(host: 'localhost', port: 5118))`. Plain http is intentional — the API is only reached inside a trusted network. There is no environment/config file; changing the backend address means editing `main.dart`.
 
+On android two things in `android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml` have to stay in place for that to work, and both only bite the **release** apk:
+
+- `<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>` — flutter ships this permission only in `src/debug` and `src/profile`, which a release build does not merge. Without it every request fails with `SocketException: Connection failed (OS Error: Operation not permitted)`, because the app may not open a socket at all.
+- `android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"` on `<application>` — android blocks plain http since api 28 (the app targets 36). Without it requests fail with `CLEARTEXT communication to <host> not permitted`. Remove the attribute once the backend speaks https.
